Today was and early start as we had a busy day planned. We decided to stay local to the hotel as we had a Grand Canyon Helicopter flight booked at 4pm.
We started with a visit to the Titanic Exhibition. It was FANTASTIC! The titanic was recreated in rooms and there were lots of genuine artifacts. The biggest piece of ship recovered was ther and will be stored there for 10 years. Unfortunately we were unable to take photos, but we managed to buy some actual coal at the end of the exhibition.
We then went shopping ... and bought a whole lot more stuff from the shops in the hotel mainly of MMA stuff.
After shopping we went to the Bones Exhibit. Like the Titanic one, we were also unable to take photos. That was also really cool. It was entirely made of REAL bodies that were preserved. For all the smokers out there ... a great exhibit as you could tell the people that had smoked due to the BLACK lungs. Even pple that were not heavy smokers during their lives, had black lungs. We got to see all parts of human bodies including a number of fetus that had died during various stages of pregnancy.
We then ate lunch at the hotel and Dale bought a HUGE cocktail in a massive plastic beer bottle - 67oz. We had tried to both get through it, but had to toss the drink just before our flight which was later in the day.
After that we met the bus outside our hotel and were taken to Boulder City Airstrip. We caught a helicopter and went on a flight for about an hour. We flew over and between the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and of course the Grand Canyon. It was MASSIVE and a great experience.
When we got back to the hotel, we decided to go down the strip. Just before we left the hotel I got a henna tattoo of a scorpion on my wrist and dale got a water massage.
When we got to see some of the night time entertainment - Volcano, Pirate Ship and the Water show. We did lots more shopping and then headed back to our hotel at about 3am. The strip just goes and goes all night ... including the shopping. It's amazing and just like one big party all night.
